I am glad you found the forum. I think you will learn a lot here.

I knew when you started describing your symptoms of a stroke. I would say due to your age the Drs. blew that ideal off. I know a girl that has one at 5 so nothing is impossible. Some Drs. just don't believe that certain things can happen different then what they have learned.

My life was a lot like yours only I didn't start getting sick until I was 36. I'm 56 now. The Drs. blew me off too. I wonder also if they just don't want to admit that they don't know what is going on at times.

Hope you stick around. You will enjoy it here.

Thank you all for that nice welcome!

Ada, your right about my age and the doctors not thinking outside the box. The thing way back was, I only wanted to know what was causing my dizziness.

I had so many doctors say "you can't be dizzy all the time." I was determined to prove them wrong. It made me a strong person.

I have a great neuro now, and he is the one who said to me that I probably had a stroke at 19. I felt vindicated. I smiled at him and said "thank you!

My headaches are being controlled with 'topomax'. It was a hard medicine to get used to.

Thanks again for the welcome!
